Overview
- Multiple outlets reported that Kerry Stevens posted images from Disneyland Paris on May 18 and is believed to be living with a family member in the Lorraine region of France.
- Essex Police have four active arrest warrants for Stevens for failure to appear at court after she missed hearings on a 2024 case charging her with 11 counts of making off without payment and one count of shop theft.
- Stevens denies the 2024 charges and is due to face trial next year, while police have renewed public appeals for information about her whereabouts.
- The case follows an earlier conviction for failing to pay a Harvester bill that led to Stevens being struck off the solicitors' roll.
- Her alleged partner, Daniel Alani, pleaded guilty earlier this year to theft and multiple counts of making off without payment, and the police search raises questions about cross‑border enforcement and the next steps for securing her return to face trial.
